If I took those ripped copies and wanted to stream them, what would be the best platform to do that?

That seems like a bad reason to swear off streaming services. Do you not shop at stores because they don’t carry offensive clothing?
That's a really awkward analogy. A better one would be: Would you buy an album with all the curse words bleeped out? A lot of people would, but others would prefer the uncensored version.
The analogy you gave would be better if they edited the content to be semantically equivalent but they aren’t. The content just isn’t available.
Now maybe the argument is that you’re paying for the service. In which case it would be like Costco where you have a membership and they definitely don’t carry offensive material.
Piracy offers: 1. Unrestricted access to an absolutely huge library of movies, music and TV shows, nearly unlimited. Certainly not limited by opaque "licensing deals" between various companies. 2. Highest resolution/bitrate/quality that was available at the time of the work's original release. 3. No arbitrary device/OS limitations. 4. Can watch/listen/download from any location on earth with sufficient bandwidth. I d…
Never left bittorrent. I really wanted to embrace streaming services, prime really killed me recently, with introducing ads into a membership that I already pay for! and 90% of movies on prime I have to pay an extra 20 bucks to view ...why am i paying for membership?
Ads for a paying member? That is just... evil?

2. Highest resolution/bitrate/quality that was available at the time of the work's original release. Arguably higher. For example, fans of Star Wars have scanned the original 1977 theatrical release with very high quality film scanners and created a 4K release complete with film grain and the original scenes intact which is not available through approved channels.
It’s great but do you know of any others?

People just don't realize just how garbage even 4k streams are from all the services. It's not in their interest to give you real bluray quality.
Yes! Someone came after me on here because I said there really is no 4k streaming.
Nobody will figure it out!

Don't forget censorship-free I swore off streaming services when they started pulling episodes of comedy shows and editing out scenes because they were worried someone might be offended
If people stopped getting offended by literally anything. We wouldn’t have to deal with this bs.

Let's say I haul out my CD's I never got rid of over the past 30 years and my DVD's from the 2000's. I can still legally rip them, right? If I took those ripped copies and wanted to stream them, what would be the best platform to do that?
